SIR Elton John is quitting his beloved curry in a bid to lose weight ahead of his 60th birthday in March (07). The CROCODILE ROCK singer and his partner David Furnish have been planning the birthday party for the last two years, and John wants to look his best on the special day. He says, "I've let myself go recently, so I'm going on a diet and making an effort to exercise so I look good for my birthday."
